Today, I decided to add Google Analytics to my portfolio which was built in Next.js At first, I thought that I could achieve this with react-ga, but after trying to add my GA code I realized that it doesn't support Google Analytics 4, only Universal ...

Hello, thank you for the guidance!

I don't know a lot about analytics and I am having a hard time trying to identify which ID is the right ID to use with GA4.

My company uses Google Analytics and the ID has this shape: UA-xxxxxxxx-x, but I think this is not the ID I should be using with this estrategy, right?

Is it the google tag manager ID? Or something else? Thank you!

Thanks!

It looks like you are using Universal Analytics. In that case, I suggest you use react-ga library to manage your Google Analytics.

Hope this helps :)

Andrei Zgirvaci yep! I ended up just doing that and it worked very well. Thank you!

Thank you for this. One thing - the custom events are not showing up on GA. This seems like the old event signature.

Hmm, was a while since I have used Google Analytics. Not sure what's going on.

Maybe checking the repo issues will help...
